It's that time of year..... kids are back in school in Onslow County and school buses 
are on the roads.
Unfortunately, the buses are picking up kids and on the road in the mornings the same time as motorists who are running late on their way to work. Sadly, these motorists sometimes do the unthinkable---pass stopped school buses. This can be deadly.
Drivers either are unaware or ignore the laws regarding school buses and as a result children are in grave danger of being hit, injured or killed.

This is a great public service post. Not a year goes by that I don't see some fool pass a school bus with red lights flashing. The drivers of the cars must live in a cave.
